  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Katherine Campbell 
as a woman of the year. She embodies all the qualities of a community 
leader and generously dedicates her time to bettering her community. As 
one of the founders in the effort to bring a community pool to the 
greater Capay Valley area, Ms. Campbell was able to successfully secure 
a $2.9 million dollar grant from the California Department of Parks and 
Recreation. Due to her continuous determination and firm commitment, 
the new Esparto Community Park and Aquatic Center is set to be 
completed before the summer of 2019. She currently serves as the 
treasurer of Capay Valley Vision, where she is actively engaged in 
developing and prioritizing critical projects that are aimed at 
community development. With unmatched experience and dedication, Ms. 
Campbell has shown herself to be an integral part of many past and 
present projects designed to help make Yolo County a better place to 
live. She serves as the Yolo County Planning Commissioner, the chair to 
the Capay Valley Citizens Advisory Committee and a contributor to the 
Rumsey Improvement Association. Since 2016, Ms. Campbell has been a 
vital member of the Yolo Parks, Recreation, and Wildlife Advisory 
Committee working to provide insight to Yolo County regarding community 
parks, open spaces, wildlife habitat, and other projects focused on the 
interests of parks and recreation. Ms. Campbell tirelessly and 
passionately advocates for her community and is most deserving of this 
recognition.
